The act of eating is a service.

[Monica]

I think relieving the pain from guilt about what one eats is the primary step to balance imbalances revolved around eating.

(if you have an opposing perspective, and if you would, please state it simply. Thus we establish the disagreement. Afterwards we can point both our views toward our common goal- compassion)

OK here goes:

I think feelings of guilt sometimes serve an important purpose. Only by reflecting on our feelings of guilt, can we determine if they are valid; ie. maybe there's something our Higher Self is trying to bring to our attention. The guilt might actually be telling us about something we can change, and the change is what brings balance.

Once the purpose of the guilt is acknowledged and accepted, then it can be forgiven and released.
